Heterosexual Activist Murdered; No 'Hate Crime' Here

Here's more proof of the phoniness of government statistics on so-called "hate crimes" (as opposed to that rash of "love crimes" sweeping the nation): In Chicago, where it's a "hate crime" if a heterosexual kills a homosexual, the reverse is deemed unacceptable.

Chicago police say Nicholas Gutierrez, 19, fatally stabbed and strangled 51-year-old Mary Stachowicz, a devout Catholic who urged him to stop being a practicing homosexual. Yet prosecutors claim there is no evidence to charge him with a "hate crime."

Gutierrez "said he has issues with his mother, and the way Mrs. Stachowicz talked to him gave him flashbacks to his mother," Police Cmdr. Lee Epplen told the Chicago Tribune.

"The entire argument did relate to his sexuality and her telling him that homosexuality was immoral," Jerry Lawrence, a spokesman for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, told CNSNews.com. However, he said, "The evidence so far does not seem to warrant anything along lines" of a "hate crime."

"If a gay man had been murdered for trying to convince someone to be gay, it would be a national news story and be deemed a hate crime," said Peter LaBarbera, a policy analyst with the Culture and Family Institute of Concerned Women for America, a conservative think tank in Washington.

And if you wonder why this case hasn't received 1 percent of the nationwide media attention devoted to the murder of Matthew Shepard, call your local newspaper and TV "news" station and demand an answer.

Boortz is actually worried that we actually want hate crime laws, he hears so many reports like this. LOL!

I've always considered myself a "heterosexual" activist. :-)

I'm with Boortz. The "fun" is long gone on using things like this to turn the tables on the Liberals. We're etching "hate crimes" deeper into our vocabulary and thoughts.

Just goes to show that homosexuals aren't the warm, fuzzy people that Hollywood likes to portray them. Unfortunately, hate crimes against heterosexuals cannot be applied to heterosexuals because that would detract from the agenda of the homosexual community, i.e., legal special rights and consideration.

Not that I have been looking for one, but has anyone every seen a film that depicted a homosexual orgy? I understand they are an important part of the lifestyle.
